“Great location for a budget stay. The hotel has so much potential. Customer service is severely lacking in both the hote”

Location is great for the beach and easy walking distance to the old town.

Breakfast was not very good and many flies on breakfast that was open. We enjoyed the location and beach area.

Great and cosy atmosphere, Boho style, one of the best in Side

“Location is perfect beach is amazing- needs to be tweaked service wise.”

Location was perfect walking distance to town and ruins. Beach was clean. Beach staff and restaurant staff very hard working and switched on.

“Lovely experience if you’re young, fit and will post to Instagram.”

This hotel has its own private beach front and is very pretty. It’s a very ‘instagramable’ place which I also feel is the reason for its down side. Please read the remaining answer to know more

“Fantastic close to beach hotel and perfect place for beach holiday”

Close the beach, unique stay experience and in-house Resturant turned bar/club. Beach sunbed and umbrella very good

“Great location, nice staff, good food”

Very nice staff on reception and at Gua where we had breakfast. It has lovely grounds and is super close to the beach promenade which has lots of restaurants and bars and runs the length of the beach. Lots of sunbeds which were really comfortable and free for hotel guests but were not just for guests of Kalia. Run by Gua and the staff often reserved the best beds (i.e., front row) for people who were paying. Also not allowed to move them so getting shade was challenging. We bought clips and towels to achieve it! Breakfast at Gua was good. No choice as served to the table but always fresh salad, cheese, bread and something hot like omelette. They didn't really seem to understand us being vegetarian and the first day we got the vegan breakfast which was the salad plate and a fruit bowl. So after that we just had it all and didn't eat the meat. Also had lunch from Gua on the beach which was really nice. And wine and cocktails. Plus dinner on our last night on the upper level which was great. Excellent quality food. Overall a really good choice in a great location, only 10-15 minutes walk from the old town but plenty of local places to eat and drink too.

“Overall we are quite happy with the stay”

Good location right on the beach, friendly staff, good food, breakfast in particular

“Super”

Close to the beach and restaurant

My opinion for my 10 day stay, the hotel was very good, the room was always very clean, the water in the shower was not Super attentive staff from the cleaning ladies to the reception and restaurant staff, The location of the hotel near the beach, the access to the beach was perfect,

“Peaceful & Enjoyable”

The staff at Kalia were so friendly and accommodating and couldn’t do more than enough. Thank you. The hotel was not too over crowded and aesthetically pleasing to the eye. Being a solo traveller I felt safe at all times. The restaurant attached ‘GUA’ served lovely food, reasonable priced. Breakfast was included and although the selection was similar daily, it was filling and nice to eat. Guest are not obliged to eat this set breakfast and can choose to order & pay for alternative food. The location of the hotel has near by shops, restaurants and Side old town. People mentioned the loud music in previous reviews but did not find this a problem. Location was ideal with suitable amenities

Very good hotel, everything was good quality including the breakfast. Right on the beach short walk from everything. Good hosting and attentive staff would recommend 👍

“A paradise”

I liked everything, place, atmosphere, personal.

“Next to the sea and affordable, but not clean”

Well located, access to a private beach, good value for money on peak times (about 70eur per night on August weekend). Had a wooden hut with 2 floors

“Excellent stay”

“Rude beach staff, loud music past midnight = bad value for money”

The breakfast was tasty and well presented. The staff at reception were friendly.

“Feels like I’m in a tropical paradise”

Delicious, enough food to get by till late afternoon

“Good location, lovely staff, basic hotel.”

The location was excellent, only a 10 minute walk to Side Old Town. The beach was lovely and the sun beds were extremely comfortable. There were plenty of beds to choose from. Staff were also very friendly and helpful. Overall good value for money.

Location is superb - about 50 meters from hotel's private beach. Beach was cleaned and taken care of every night. Deluxe double room with balcony is located on the second floor (there are actually only ground and second floor). The room itself is quite spacious for 2 person, with a comfortable king bed and quite a big wardrobe. Room was cleaned every other day. Balcony faces the inner yard, do not expect too much a view :) Staff is very friendly and helpful Hotel has its own restaurant, hotel guests would get a 10% discount. Cuisine is rich and delicious.

“Wonderful beach stay at a very good situated, clean and renovated room.”

Beach front location, very nice beach facilities, daily cleaning, serviable personnel. Was renovated in 2022, good mattress. AC correct. Spacious room, all ground floors.
